La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah

Timeless wine. Why does it hold so long with air and still evolve? Everything works here. Inspiration for a winemaker to find the key. — 17 days ago

Jour de Soif Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2022

Light, spicy, Juicy and smooth: A simple joy can be as satisfying as any complex piece of art, if made on point. Try this easy going Cabernet Franc and try to proove me wrong! — 6 months ago

Château Gruaud Larose

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1979

Denser than the 78 , darker fruits , touch of mint and bit funky . Quite dense on the palate , slightly dry tannins , but better length than the 78 . Good balance and a bit more substance too . Improves with some air , drink now but get the impression this can continue on a few years more. — 9 months ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2019

Too young. Needed hours of air. Disjointed. A good amount of acidity. Some fruit showing through. There’s a lot of spice and herbs too. Will hold other bottles for a long while. — 2 months ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Compelling aromatics, blossomed with more air. Somewhat narrow palate. Last sip the best. Unfortunately, not next-level. Vintage? — 6 months ago

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Lyle Fass
9.6

Wow, so earthy and mushroomy. Margaux florals are singing. Red currants. leather, smoke, spice, so many aromas. A 9.7 nose. Lights out. Peppermint. Candy cane. So complex and diverse. Dried leaves. Wet leaves. Tree bark. Juicy and clean with lovely sweet red currant fruit, terrific freshness and some gritty tannins. Great acids and finesse. Cocoa powder and a bittersweet mocha on the finish linger. Spectacular. Such fine tannins and glorious cherry fruit now. BAMA kills in every vintage. After 20 minutes the nose closed as did the palate. I will wait. — 3 months ago

American oak wasn’t too prominent at this young age?
